I disagree.
Windows has not built-in iconv utility, so it need to download 
separately (or bundled in distributive as svn does?). On the other hand 
Python have all this functionality inside. I beleive these options 
(--input-encoding and --output-encoding) will be useful for IPC and 
using bzr by external tools. But I can add and --utf8 option if you 
think that `-outf8` is long typing ;-)
